Welfare
in Canada 2015
- November 2016
(Caledon Institute of Social Policy)

Welfare in Canada 2015 By Anne Tweddle, Ken Battle and Sherri Torjman
November 2016
This report is a continuation of the welfare incomes series published regularly
by the former National Council of Welfare.

This report focuses on the incomes of four different households
living on social assistance, commonly known as welfare. It is
a continuation of the welfare incomes series published regularly by the
former National Council of Welfare.
Total welfare incomes consist of the sum of the following components:
- social assistance
- provincial/territorial and federal child benefits and
- provincial/territorial and federal tax credits.
(...)
Poverty measures are considered to be the baseline level below which households
are deemed to live in poverty. Two poverty measures are employed in this
report: the after-tax low income cut-offs (LICOs) and the Market Basket
Measure (MBM).

This was the first report of the National Council of Welfare (SEE THE YELLOW
TEXT BOX A FEW LINES DOWN) that presented interprovincial welfare rate comparisons
(for 1986). All information was vetted by provincial/territorial officials
before finalizing the report. The model and the methodology have remained
constant for every subsequent edition of the report (with the exception
of the Person with a Disability category, which was added to the 1989 edition.)
